Important Internship Information

For applicants accepted into a UNEP internship who are not citizens of the United States, you must obtain a visa. It is UN policy that obtaining visas is the sole responsibility of the intern. UNEP will not assist beyond providing letters of acceptance and copies of internship agreements. Be mindful that obtaining a visa can be a lengthy process and failure to secure a visa will void your internship acceptance. Do not delay in pursuing your visa(s).

UNEP accepts no responsibility or liability for costs arising from damages, travel, accident and/or illness incurred during an Internship. Interns are asked to submit:

Valid proof of coverage by a medical insurance plan

June 09, 2014

Best educational games for kids

These days, children are practically born with the ability to use a smartphone and have an immediate understanding of technology from a young age, and 91 percent of children play video games. In this environment, parents can fight the trend and likely lose, or use it to their advantage by allowing their children to play educational games that will enhance spelling, reading, and math skills. There is no better way to trick your child into learning than with a flashy tablet app featuring talking fish. Your little ones will think you are a cool parent for letting them spend so much time in front of the computer, and parents will have peace of mind knowing their kiddos are actually furthering themselves.

All of these websites and games are safe for all ages, and many allow for multiple players so they can be played together as a family.

Apps

One thing to look out for with apps is in-game purchases. If kids don’t understand that getting more lives in a game costs actual money, there can be real problems. Make sure to read the descriptions before handing it over to your kid or stay safe with our guide to turning off in-app purchases .

Fish School HD (Apple $2)

Fish School HD is a great game for preschoolers. It teaches numbers, letters, shapes, and colors with the help of animated fish. There is even a lesson on differences, where children have to find the fish that doesn’t look like the others. The app tries to cover basic skills taught before or during preschool curriculum. After kids work out their brains, they can have play time by tapping and dragging the fish and watching them react. Some letters and numbers are hard to read when displayed by fish, so it could be frustrating for some little ones.

Scout’s ABC Garden (Apple $2)

This is one entry in a series by Leap Frog that stars a green puppy named Scout, who takes kids through his backyard where they help him find things he’s lost, grow letters, and count drops of water. The app can be personalized and Scout will learn your child’s name, favorite color, and favorite food. The only bummer is it can only be personalized for one person at a time, so if there is more than one kid wanting to play with Scout you might need to have them share a profile or download it on another device. Scout will teach your kids how to count, but not to share.

Balloony Word (Apple Free)

This version of Hangman features Gordon the Gorilla and Kendra the Kangaroo as they hang helplessly from balloons with letters printed on them, and their lives are in the hands of the players who must guess words based off letters they choose. There are different categories of words to choose from, such as fruits or vegetables. Every wrong guess pops a balloon and brings either Gordon or Kendra closer to the ground, but gently. This is a game for children, so there won’t be any animals plummeting to earth, but there’s still a feeling of drama. This game is simple and is a good one to play with your kids, or by yourself when they’re sleeping, you deserve it. The only downside is an older kid could get tired of the repetitive nature of the game.

Stack the States (Android /Apple Free [limited] or $1)

Ages: All

There is no better way to trick your kids into learning geography than putting faces on states. This app covers a wide variety of United States geography such as capitals, state shapes, borders, and abbreviations. The game presents the player with multiple choice trivia about states, if you answer the question correctly, you are allowed to place that state on the base. You win once you stack your states all the way up to the checkered line. Because it allows up to six unique profiles it’s easy to let the whole family play. Nothing brings families closer together than competition. There is also a Learn menu that presents an interactive map and flash cards. There is a “lite” version that is free but, as one could guess, isn’t as extensive as the full version.

Dinosaur Park Math (Android /Apple $1)

Online Job boards

The internet can be a valuable tool for finding job vacancies as there are a whole host of sources of vacancies online.

Individual Job sites can advertise opportunities for a huge range of different types of jobs or be limited to a specific industry sector.

See The Careers Group guide to job hunting for lists of the most popular graduate job boards, online newspaper and trade journals and ideas for other ways to carry out your job search.

Graduate internships and work experience

Gaining experience of the industry that you are interested is important (and sometimes essential) in the current highly competitive job market.

There are increasingly opportunities for those leaving UCL to gain access to graduate internships, work experience and shadowing offered by a very diverse range employers on a short, long or part-time basis.

Internships

Opportunities are advertised as and when vacancies arise and can often be less structured than traditional graduate scheme internships. They also vary hugely both in type of work you will undertake and whether you will be paid for your time.

Two good sources of graduate internships are:

UCL Job Online – access to a huge number of internship, work experience and temporary opportunities (in some cases advertised solely to UCL students and graduates through this site). Search for internships by keyword, location, job type and hours.

Graduate talent pool – a partnership between government and employers designed to help UK graduates looking for work placements. The internships are based primarily in England, and you can search for opportunities by career sector and region. In addition to listing internship opportunities there are tips and advice on CVs, applications and interviews.

In addition, our online guides to finding advertised internships and work experience have further listings of both generalist internship sites as well as some that are sector specific.

Whilst there are a growing number of online vacancy sources, the majority of opportunities are never publicised and you will need to be proactive in creating these opportunities for yourself in the same way you might for jobs. See our job hunting section.

Work experience/ shadowing

Sometimes organisations are not able to offer internships but will allow you to gain some short-term experience or to ‘work shadow’ someone. This involves spending time with a professional, watching what their role entails. It may be for one or two days but if you make yourself indispensable for that brief time, they may invite you to stay longer. In order to identify these types of possibilities, you will need to pinpoint the career area(s) you would like to research and then look for suitable people to shadow. Try to find contacts via family and friends or other networks and if that is not successful, make speculative applications to individuals working in organisations that attract you. The key to a successful shadowing placement is being proactive.

Employer recruitment fairs and events

Careers fairs and employer presentations are some of the best ways to learn more about opportunities that might interest you.

These events are an excellent opportunity to meet potential employers face to face and market yourself to your chosen industry.

As a UCL GradClub member you have access to the entire UCL employer fairs, presentations and events programme that primarily runs in the autumn and spring. The best way to be kept informed of these events is to sign-up to UCL alert where you will receive first notification of relevant events run by UCL Careers Service plus information on job vacancies and other careers events straight from employers or The Careers Group. Find out more.

Make Yourself More Employable Blog

Keep an eye on our blog for news from recruiters, interesting articles from the media, features on a range of sectors, success stories from GradClub members and students, general careers advice and links to relevant twitter feeds.

Internships

Ready to apply your skills in the real world?

Start with an internship!

What’s an Actuarial Internship?

Think of it as a free trial period with no obligation for either party to buy. An internship is a pre-professional working experience that provides students with the opportunity to work side by side with experienced actuaries. Though getting an internship does not guarantee a permanent job many students find it opens the door to future employment.

Why Should I Start with an Internship?

The benefits are numerous some of which include:

gaining a head start on an actuarial career with relevant work experience;

building actuarial skills while simultaneously sharpening communication and leadership skills;

acquiring experience not often learned in the classroom; and

increasing exposure to potential employers.

Often, someone who has made the effort to get experience will stand out from the very large applicant crowd. So, whether you get the opportunity to go on client meetings or you spend most of the time doing administrative jobs, internships can be valuable. Most importantly, internships assist in translating your classroom knowledge to a practical working foundation.

Where to Find Internships

University placement offices are a good starting point in locating opportunities. Companies often do on-campus interviews for interns and co-op students.

Many students have also found opportunities by reaching out to firms of interest and contacting an acquaintance already working in the profession.
